healthy habits

Nowadays people haven't enough time to have a healthy life. We are always running everywhere, having half lunches, going to work haven't ate anything, smoking, drinking, going to parties and never resting.
This is not a good way to live because we get stress, sick, tired, cardiac problems, etc.
In the last 20 yeas it has been a change in the way to live which has brought with itself an increase of diseases in the adults and children, being food the main causer of this, or the bad way to eat that the people have in the last time. Because of this and despite we have a higher life expectancy; we are having a worse life quality. I mean, we can have a longer lifetime, but we spent it sick.
Everything because the food we choose it is full of calories and fats, specially saturated fats, sugar and salt, when we must eat fibers and carbohydrates, this is why people are sick and are dying of diseases that our parents and grandparents never had had.
The last studies effected in the country show that the priority of interventions in health and nutrition are cardiovascular diseases, obesity, cancer, arterial hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis and anemia. The solution for all these diseases is to have a healthy life.
Following some advices we can have a life free of sickness and stress, besides we could feel better and be happy:

• To eat different kind of food during the day, because none can give us everything that we need eat. that is why we must combine them to have a healthy diet.
• To eat more fruits and vegetables because it has been demonstrated that eat some vitamins and compounds present in them reduce cardiovascular risk and some kinds if cancer.
• To use vegetable oil and don't eat animal oil, this because the vegetable iol has no cholesterol and it has a source of essential oily acids.
• To prefer meat like chicken, fish and turkey. Meat is an important source of proteins, but is better to eat white meat than red meat.
• To drink more milk, but without fats, because we just need the calcium.
• To eat less salt, because the salt is a causer of arterial hypertension and cardiovalcular diseases.
• To moderate the sugar. It produces caries, obesity and it increase the risk of diabetes.
• To try to drik two litors of water, to keep the body hydration.

With these simples steps we can have a healthy life, but do not forget we also need to do some exercise.

Spring

Spring in a season which is between winter and summer. It is when plants realive and start growing.

Spring is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year; most of people think it is a time of flowers, love, birds singing, sunlight and children running. The people fall in love frequently during this time, you can see a lot of couples in parks and everyone is happy, or almost everyone because not everything in the life could be colours and happiness. Spring also is the season of allergies, sneezes and itch.
With the spring comes the bloom of the trees and the pollen begins to spread in the air and what does that the people star to cry and sneeze. They can't sleep in night and breathe in the day. This begins in September and has no determined time to end.
Doctors think people is everyday more allergic because everyday they have less field life and their bodies have no the habit of facing the nature. Because of this, their bodies attack the natural agents.
Something very sad it is that when spring comes more people commit suicide. That is because of the change of ionization in the air. That makes the people get an imbalance in their mood and make them to take this kind decision, specially what we talk about people with psychological problems.

But spring is not just sickness either. With spring comes the good weather and sun, everything awake after a long time of cold and rain, people is happier, have more energy. Days are longer, we have more time with sunlight and temperature is higher.

Spring also is the love season, as I told before, spring bring a change in the ionizatioin of the air and for the people who haven't psychological problems, this change of air added to high temperature and be light of clothes makes a hormones revolution, specially in teenagers. The result is parks full of couples making out.

In some places people make celebration when this season starts. Festivals can be very different in one place from the other. there are to many countries who celebrate the welcome to the spring like: India, Australia, Afghanistan, Vietman, even Chile. I am from Chillán, so I am going to tell how the people celebrate there.
The festival is called "la fiesta de la primavera" and people make allegoric cars full of flowers, some people disguise themselves and everyone is in the central square. In the evening and night you can go to listen music and take part in contests.
